Question by MBA2021sus .......... Stats: 3.72 Biology GPA, 164V 163Q GRE. White male.
Work experience: 1 year at an environmental non-profit, 3.5 years working in energy and sustainability for the state government, and 10 months by June 2022 (term appointment) teaching environmental science to underprivileged kids at a public charter school. I would be applying R1, so a couple of months into teaching.
Volunteering: 1.5 years of volunteering (2 at matriculation) to get kids and their families outdoors fishing at weekly events. Promoted a year into leading boat tours of the river as a paid role. This experience with kids is why I think I got the teaching role. All the people I work with here would be great recommenders.
Schools: I applied last Fall and got into all of the T20 schools I applied to, and one T15. Rejected at 2 other T15s and left on Fuqua WL until last week. I was hoping to target Darden and Yale, but I was wondering if I look like I could get Kellogg.
From what I can see. YES, you can target Kellogg (as a stretch, but your profile, GRE, extra-curriculers, professional acheivmeents etc.) all seem to fit what they are looking for.
and if not Kellog, try: Cornell, Tuck, Ross, Darden... and reapp at Duke... all higher ranked than T20
GOOD LUCK!
